Ahh, UK. I'm fairly certain Sweet Vapes ships internationally (they're a US based vendor) but am not certain of the shipping rates, since they calculate by weight. I'd expect $12 to $15 based on thier site. Looks like $35 will get you a tank, 5 coils, and shipping. Still comes out to the same cost as a Nautilus Mini, but still a better tank, imo. The coil I'm using is about 16 days old and is still running great, even though I've been running a heavy, max VG, dark NET juice in it. Run it at 15-17 watts on your istick if you have a VG heavy juice or 18-20 watts for a thinner (e.g. 50/50) juice, and you'll never get a dry hit. Shipping might be a week or so from the states, but I really think it's a better tank. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a UK vendor that carries them just yet for your purposes.
Just fyi, I opened an inquiry ticket with FastTech concerning the tank and they say they might start carrying it in the next few weeks. I can't imagine it'll be a whole lot cheaper than retail, though (the original GS Air is about a dollar cheaper on their site). Btw, that $32-$35 guesstimate I gave you comes out to 21 to 23 quid. I know foreign money amounts are worthless to me. Those tanks use the original GS Air coils, though, so if you have a UK vendor you're aware of that can supply those, you can certainly mitigate some shipping cost that way. The tank and shipping alone is probably just under 11 quid. Again, about a week's transit from this side of the lake.
I ordered two Gs air M from sweet vapes for £22 with delivery to the UK.They took a week from despatch to delivery and they're amazing
You can get Eleaf GS coils from China. They are cheap-ish too. £9.50 for 10, more or less.
If I could get the "M" GS air tank, I'd buy one and order 20 coils. That would last ages.

You can't get them directly from China. For some reason the Chinese vendors aren't allowed to ship eLeaf or Joyetech products to South Korea or the UK.
Better stick with US or EU based vendors. I've purchased from Sweet Vapes before. They're excellent. As Marcus1970 said he got quick delivery from them to Wales, they're probably your best bet.

Just want to thank everyone for this thread, just ordered a few GS Air tanks and coils because of your knowledge - they were exactly what I was looking for, and a great price

Just as an aside, I've been using an iStick Mini to review the GS Air MS. It's a beautiful fit, and even with the stock drip tip, the tank is only a couple of mm taller than the mod, both measuring a total of about 106 mm height. That said, the Mini is voltage regulating and supposedly cuts out voltage when wattage would exceed 10 watts, regardless of your selected voltage. I think that this was actually a failed 15 watt mod and the new chip eleaf decided to use with this mod just couldn't do what they initially planned. When using two seperate inline voltage and wattage meters, I read roughly 4.5 volts on these 1.5 ohm heads when I have the box set to 5v. With a 10w cutoff, the voltage output should be 3.8 or 3.9 volts. Wattage readings on both meters confirm this with a fluctuating 13.3-13.6 watt reading. With these heads, that's pretty much exactly the ideal wattage setting, incidentally. I get the same readings with the GS16S, the Aerotank MOW, and the Nautilus Mini... with a 5v selection, this thing always cuts out voltage at a setting that produces around 13.5 watts at the wheels. With the 1.8 ohm coils in those tanks, voltage bounces between 4.9 and 5.0 volts and wattage is steady between 13.4 and 13.5 watts. Seems like the wattage cutoff works, just at a higher level than advertised. Not that this is a bad thing. Instead of releasing a flaky 15w mod, they put out a 10w mod that goes above and beyond.
The GS Air MS and iStick Mini combo is something to consider if you want a small and powerful vaping kit with great air flow control without the whole sub ohm deal.

Best flavour you get with a rebuildable tank. The Kanger Subtank series are great. You can use the regulare coils and also wick by your self with the RBA. Taste is good, but steam is warm.
Im vaping since 3 month. Switched after 3 weeks from Evod to RBA tanks. Best desicion. My favourite tank is the Tilemahos and the Ithaka from GG. Difficult to get, but very nice.
I used most all Aspire products in the beginning and was enjoying the Nautilus but Not the price of their coils. The BVC didn't last me 3 days but I'm a heavy vaper.
RTA's and building sounded so complicated it was scary. However knowing I would get better flavor and it would be so much cheaper in the long run I decided to bite the bullet and take that learning curve.
It's really not a big deal to build your coil. I watched a lot of vid's (Rip Trippers) and had it down. Just be safe and get a multi meter for $15 to check your ohms.
The Lemo is a very inexpensive awesome tank. I don't think there's a better one out there so a lot of people say. Even those that have tried it and compared it to their Kangers... Much better flavor and cheaper to use an RTA!

kanger subtank mini is a solid choice - can use the 1.2 ohm coils if you aren't interested in sub-ohming (and if you do get interested, easy enough to switch to the .5 coil or use the included rba deck to build)
Just an FYI for those new to the GSAir tanks mentioned above -- you CAN rebuild the coils, if you WANT to. There is an entire thread dedicated to this tank in the "Vaping Hardware" section, "Clearomizers" area. I am not sure it is OK to give a link to another area on ECF, or I would put the link here for you.

I have an eleaf istick 30. Use Nautilus mini and Kayfun v4. Nautilus due to ease of use is preferred now.Just ordered a Marquis (clone) to test dripping.
